I Was Hired As A Tutor By A Cute Little Devilish Junior - Chapter 1 Encounter
It was a day after school, a week after I moved up to the second year of high school.
Without warning, the door to the classroom swung open with a bang.
There was a buzz in the classroom, and everyone’s eyes turned in that direction.
I was no exception, so I stopped my conversation with my friend and looked over there.
There was a girl standing there.
She was wearing a short skirt and a beige cardigan.
The color of the ribbon on her collar told me that she was a first-year student.
And for some reason, my eyes met with the first year.
Furthermore, as soon as our eyes met, she came straight at me.
Eh, me?
The first year stopped in front of me.
When she got closer, I saw that she had a pretty face.
She had shoulder-length glossy black hair and big, bright eyes.
She was so cute that I couldn’t help but stare at her.
“Nice to meet you. Murakami Riku-senpai.”
“O-Oh. Eh, how do you know my name…?”
“I’m a first-year, Shiina Azusa. Once again, nice to meet you.”
“Eh, ah. Nice to meet you.”
Shiina bowed her head as she had forgotten to mention her name.
I was tempted to ask her if she forgot to introduce herself, but she seemed to be a surprisingly polite girl.
Shiina Azusa…a name I don’t remember. She was right, I guess it was our first time meeting after all.
If that was the case, it was even scarier that she was the one who knew my name…
The classroom, which had been buzzing with activity, gradually returned back to its normal atmosphere when it became clear that I was the target.
My friend who was nearby also read the air and started talking a little further away.
At that moment, I asked the girl who introduced herself as Shiina what she wanted.
“W-Well…What do you want from me?”
“Yes, I came here to ask a favor of Murakami-senpai.”
A request from a kouhai I’ve never met before…? Honestly, I couldn’t imagine it at all.
I hope she doesn’t say anything weird to disturb my peace…
“Senpai, will you be my tutor?”
Shiina destroyed such faint expectations in seconds.
The words were too abrupt and I froze for a moment.
“T-Tutor…?”
“Yes, a tutor.”
Shiina replied with a normal face. She looked as if to say, “Did I say something strange?”
No, my head was filled with question marks.
I don’t know if my classmates around me were listening in, but they were also tilting their heads at the word “tutor”.
“Tutor… You mean you want me to teach you, right?”
“That’s what it means.”
The classroom started buzzing again.
It was no wonder. A beautiful first-year girl suddenly appeared and asked me, a regular student, to be her tutor.
Naturally, I would be shocked. Or rather, I was the one who was most shocked.
“Are you serious? Shiina.”
“I wouldn’t say something like this to a senpai in jest. Don’t you believe me…?”
Shiina said that to me with her eyes watering.
S-Stop looking up at me like that. Gosh. It hurts when people look at me like this…
“N-No. I don’t believe you. I’ve never met you before. How can I trust you?”
“…Right.”
Shiina’s expression was not happy.
Did I say too much? But I was the one who was in trouble if I was suddenly asked to be a tutor.
“Well. Tell me, why would you ask me to be your tutor?”
“I…”
Eh, why do you stop there?
The fact that she asked me to tutor her without any reason was indeed too unintelligible.
“This school, the entrance exam score must have been pretty strict, and if you’re smart enough to do that, I’m sure you’ll be fine, right?”
That was my experience.
I remembered studying very hard for the entrance exam, but I don’t remember having much trouble after I entered the school.
I told her that, but Shiina kept her head down and remained silent.
After a few moments of silence, Shiina opened her mouth.
“…I really want Murakami-senpai to teach me.”
“Does it have to be me?”
“Yes. I wouldn’t like it unless it was Senpai…”
Shiina spoke with a little sadness in her voice.
If she put it that way, it might be a little weak as a reason.
From the looks of it, she must have some kind of plan, but I guess it was not a bad thing.
And I’ve always been the type of person who can’t say no to a request from someone like that.
And it doesn’t bother me, I almost always end up feeling satisfied afterward.
Maybe I’m just a super good-natured person.
“I guess, still no…?”
“—Ugh.”
With tears in her eyes, Shiina looked up at me again and pleaded.
This destructive power was not good…
As I was unable to say anything due to Shiina’s deadly upward glance, my classmates around me started to make noise again.
『Hey, that Murakami guy is making a freshman kouhai cry.』
『That’s serious. Poor first-year.』
The people around started saying whatever they wanted.
No, it was true that from the perspective of those around me, it might have looked like I made Shiina cry.
I think anyone would act the same as me if they were suddenly asked to be a tutor…
Coupled with the stares from the people around me, I couldn’t say anything, so I decided to go off-topic for a bit.
“You said tutor, but do Shiina’s parents agree?
“No, it’s a selfish request on my part. …B-But I have the money!”
Shiina then suddenly took out around ten of the largest bills from her wallet.
And then she pushed them to me.
“Is this not enough?”
“W-Wait, wait. That’s not what I meant. Don’t bring that much money to school.”
“S-Sorry.”
I managed to coax Shiina into putting the large sum of money away in her purse.
“Even if you wanted to hire me, Shiina and I are both high school students. It’s not a good idea for us to exchange money.”
“So you’re saying that…you can’t tutor me?
“No, that’s not what I meant…”
When I was at a loss for words, Shiina put her hand to her chin and started thinking. Then, with a sudden flash of inspiration, she asked me happily.
“So you want me to pay you with something other than money, right?
“W-Well is that how you see it…?”
“Salary, salary…Hah! Don’t tell me Senpai is trying to get me to do something indecent!?”
“No, I’m not. No way.”
“Taking advantage of your position as a tutor to do this and that to me…Wow”
“It’s not wow. Don’t start your own weird fantasies.”
Shiina placed her hand on her cheek and blushed.
What kind of imagination does this girl have?
“Eh. Murakami-senpai, don’t you want to do something like that?”
“Who would do that? There’s no way I’m going to bully a cute kouhai.”
“Heh? Cute…?”
“Yeah. I don’t know what your purpose is, but you asked me to help. I don’t think I’m bad enough to bully a girl for that.”
“I-Is…that so.”
Shiina muttered, and she looked somewhat sad.
I swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth just in time.
I felt that there was some other emotion in Shiina’s sad eyes.
“Murakami-senpai…”
“W-What is it?”
Shiina took one deep breath.
“As you guess, I actually have another purpose besides studying.”
“Yeah.
“…Ah. Really, I just can’t help it, no matter what the cost. I want you to be my tutor.”
“…”
“I can do anything for you, including the salary we were talking about earlier. I…I don’t mind if it’s you.”
“Hey, dummy. What are you saying—”
I tried to stop Shiina from saying something stupid, but it was already too late.
As expected, the outside world started to make a fuss.
『That first-year said she’ll do anything for Murakami.』
『Hey, stop it. Maybe that first-year is being threatened and made to say something, right?』
『I can’t believe he would do something like that to a kouhai. Murakami’s a ped*phile…』
Hey, why am I supposed to be in the wrong?
Also, who called me a ped*phile? I’m going to send images of little girls to his cell phone somehow.
“Senpai…”
“Ugh…”
Shiina gave me the highly destructive upward glance three times.
Her hands were clasped together in prayer, resting in front of her chest.
The passionate gaze of Shiina’s moist eyes.
The cold, merciless gaze of those around me.
I put my hand on my forehead and let out a big sigh.
“…Okay. I’ll take it, Shiina’s tutoring offer.”
“Are you sure!?”
“Yeah.”
The sad expression on her face earlier was gone. Shiina stared at me with sparkling eyes.
Then she took both my hands and said—
“I look forward to working with you from now on, Senpai♪”
A cute smile bloomed on her face, which made my heart tingle.
